posted July 7, 2018 by Gina

A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.

Just a friendly reminder, to receive my new recipes or meal plans via email, make sure you’re signed up for my email subscription (it’s free!). Second, have you pre-ordered my cookbook Skinnytaste One and Done? It comes out Oct 9, but you can get 4 free recipes from the book now, with your pre-order. More details here!

If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.

There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.

Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing!

THE DETAILS:

Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated Weight Watcher Freestyle Points for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!

The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.

And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Thank you so much for your meal plan posts. I have been making your recipes for quite some time, but this week, the “wedding diet” started and I decided it was time to get serious. So, I have used this week’s meal plan as my jumping off point. OMG, my husband has loved every thing I have made and didn’t even know we were watching our calories. Your recipes are tasty, filling and your meal plan allows for so much flexibility and enough left overs for several days. The tastes and combinations have kept me interested and focused. Please continue to post — you are my inspiration.

Oh my gosh, thank you SO SO SO very much. I am back on WW now after a 5 year hiatus, and obviously so much has changed. I am a busy working mom. I know these meal plans will save me a ton of time, and the recipes look AWESOME! Because: tacos.

This is my first week fully trying out the meal plan. I’m shifting the days a bit because I need to do the shopping tonight (Monday). I have high hopes! I have definitely enjoyed several recipes I’ve gotten from the site.

I’ve just found your blog so I’m not using your plans yet, but based on what I see here, I think I’ll give them a try next week. I like that you provide three basic meals and leave room for snacks, beverages, etc outside the meals themselves. Seems very flexible to me that way.

Love these weekly menus and cannot wait for the new book to come out! Just wanted to let you know the infographic for this week’s menu says Jun 9-July 15, I was skimming quickly and for a second thought I was on an old post from June.

I’m new to your web site and am really enjoying it. I use it for the recipes and sometimes just for ideas. I’m making the chicken waldorf salad tonight. I’m new to WW and especially appreciate the freestyle points are all figured out and ready to track.

Being a single working mom trying to eat healthy, these meal plans are a true time saver and I find I spend less time worrying about what to cook and instead enjoy time spent with my two teenage daughters prepping and preparing meals. I find I spend less at the grocery store and when I use this plan along with an exercise program I actually lose weight! Coupled with using fresh in season produce and simple ingredients, winner all around!

Thank you Gina, I was getting so tired of trying to figure out what to have for meals on the Weight Watchers freestyle plan. Your website and meal plans are totally awesome, and such a lifesaver! Thank you!

My Skinnytaste cookbooks are my go to resource for healthy recipes. I regularly use your weekly meals plans. It truly takes the guess work out of planning. Please keep sharing…thank you. Can’t wait for your new book!!!

Thank you for the plans – I have been following you since 2012 and love the variety. Would love to see more quick prep ideas for sides or mains and / or prep and freeze for weeknight meals because during the week it is tough with work, classes and schedules. Thank you again.

My husband and I have been using the meal plans for about three months and it’s been a huge help for our diet. The amount of time/prep for two adults who work full time, commute, and freelance on the side seems like a lot, and multiplying the breakfasts and lunches and dividing the recipes for dinner makes shopping tricky. But the wonderful thing is that it takes all of the guesswork out of our meal planning and every time we whip up a new, delicious concoction we say “Thank you, Gina!” We’ve even skipped the official meal plan once or twice and made a “best of” week. So I thought we’d say it here… Thank you! Please keep posting!
